Just caught up on the reading and I'm not sure what to think in terms of the results.
Is the character MrW quoted from the show a confirmed survivor? Blade, why do you think that MrW played a special character, instead of an ordinary survivor (or an "other")? In hindsight, I kind of wish I had left my vote on Tanglewood instead of seeing if I could instigate a flurry of activity ... generally not my style of play and I don't think I did a very good job here. Don't know for sure without a role reveal, but the activity after I left for the night didn't exactly fill me with confidence in the play. Blade, when you were looking at the votes for King you did not comment on Pennywise joining the grouping. That was the last one that I had seen before I switched votes. I had seen move from being back 4-1 into a 5-5 tie before I switched. I knew that I wasn't going to be around for a deadline tonight and didn't want to come back and see that I had helped create a secondary bandwagon. So I swung back to the initial bandwagon voter, since he was the primary beneficiary of the secondary bandwagon. I'll be interested in seeing what the night actions are - perhaps I'll be allowed to see Day 2 since I seem to have played in a controversial fashion up to this point. |

OK, I'm willing to work with that idea. If that is the case then I guess better in jail than dead to the others. Not sure we can count on jail as the option every day ...
Time to do some Google searches on this character. I'm thinking of borrowing the Season 1 DVD set from a buddy tomorrow, as I have some spare time on my hands. |

Here is a Lost site that I have found:
hxxp://www.thefuselage.com There is a section on the characters - looking through the Charlie stuff it seems like he has a protective nature about him, but also is on the outs with Locke after losing his girl to her. And that he has some anger issues on top of drug problems last year. In terms of missing out on hints, it happens. I could try to argue that a wolf often hints at their importance when they are on the block, but truth be told I didn't pick up on anything from Mr. W in the little time he was online. When I'm viewing from work, and I have other people that are interacting with me, it does make it harder to really scrutinize post-by-post. Bottom line, everyone should definitely hold me accountable for bad play if/when it happens, and it may very well turn out that this is one of those times. Edited for typo on link to site.

from the official lost site, in regards to charlie:
BEFORE THE CRASH # Bass player for successful UK band Drive Shaft; his younger brother Liam was lead singer # Heroin addiction lasted far longer than band's fame # Turned to crime to support his habit # Went to Australia to convince brother to re-form band ON THE ISLAND # Locke helped him kick drug addiction # Rescued Jack from cave-in while in withdrawal # Befriended Claire, convincing her to move to caves # Almost killed when they were kidnapped by sinister Ethan Rom; Jack saved him with CPR # Hunted down and shot Ethan Rom in revenge # Tempted by heroin found on wrecked smuggler's plane # Nicknamed Claire's baby Turnip Head

Some things are adding up here. Someone new to the game might not go with the "veteran" strategy of voting for a player who hasn't shown up yet...unless they're getting information from a veteran player. I know you're new, but Mr. Wednesday hadn't even been online to know the game had started, so you gave him absolutely no slack. Quote:
Going back to your first quote, why didn't you see a need to change your vote? tanglewood and RPI-Fan were less active at that point in time, meeting your criteria for voting for Wednesday. |

I voted because I was unsure of my availability for the evening. There was a chance that I would be unavailable for the entire evening. I had to vote to make sure I got a vote in. It just so happened that Mr. W hasn't checked in at the time and I used that as my criteria randomly. Turns out, I was able to be around for much of the evening. I contemplated changing my vote for 3 hours or so. I was very close to switching it to kingfc22 when hoops broke the tie. Then, the votes kept piliing on Mr. W and there was no need to switch since the vote had been pretty much decided at that point. |

i really want to know what the deal with Wednesday being in the pit
RA, very nice work on the spleen analysis, i admit i missed it. blade, i saw the points about wednesday, i did pick up on them when he posted them, but couldnt decide if they were real or just banter...i guess my suspicion level on hoops will be predicated on by if we get wednesday back and he tells us anything. |

Not alot of activity so far this weekend, Im guessing alot of people won't be around much. I had hoped we would have had a little more information by now, I still have so many questions in my head about Mr.W an his place now. So far without any real answers, this has left me with no truly good feels for people's actions from yesterday.
I'm not entirely sure how close I am to Blade's feelings about Hoops. I guess if Mr. W was lynched an revealed to have some important role that he was hinting at then it might have a little more credibility, but my take on it was more along the lines that most people when on the line to be lynched are likely to try to beef up their importance to the survivors to try to keep from being lynched. a Day one role outing usually is rare to see, since it usually means they dont survive long through the night anyways.. I guess for right now, I'd need a bit more to put some heat on Hoops, a player of his calibre I feel can help us alot going on later... and if he's against us, well that scares me greatly. As for Spleen, I guess I'll wait and see. Without knowing anything about Mr. W I don't want to jump to conclusions about why people protected others or didnt protect them just yet I suppose. |

Dola, without a role reveal, its hard to analyze voting patterns or anything when we don't know if the person we voted to lynch is actually bad or not.....

I'm not sure what to add at this point without the night actions - Friday night is always a tough time to get people to be timely and Day 1 obviously has the maximum number of people who have to submit them.
Has AE been around at all? I haven't seen him online the couple of times I've peeked at the thread today. |

From a newbie point of view - if you're not an Other (or a special? or does that matter), then night actions are essentially just sitting back and waiting, right? Is there anything I'm supposed to be doing?

Thats right, for any survivors without special roles, we just wait till the night events are over. We can talk some about what happened the previous day but often times people are hesitant to say too much in fear of becoming a night target. Likewise othertimes if someone thinks they likely will die that night, they sometimes say everything they know before they go. |

It's hard to sleep, but most of you find a way to do so. A few of you stand guard around the outside perimeter of the camp. The guards turn over after a few hours and there's nothing to report.
Shortly after the new guards take over, it happens. Trees crash. Animal noises of all sorts come out of the jungle. As the tree crashing comes closer, those closest to the jungle begin to turn and run. Soon everyone's running, but from what? A few of you stop and turn around, hoping to catch a glimpse of just what exactly is chasing you, but there's nothing there. It takes a few minutes to calm everyone down. Eventually everyone returns to camp. Poor Mr. Wednesday. He was left in the pit, and now is dead. It appears his neck was snapped. You notice on one of his fingers a ring with the letters, "DS". You also find some heroin in his pockets, obviously this guy was a drug user. Still, who could have done this? Didn't everyone run away from that crashing noise? A head count ensues and there is one person missing. Grammaticus. Where could he be? A search party is made, and Grammaticus is eventually found dead. His throat was slashed. You search Grammaticus and his belongings, but find a few things: a lottery ticket and a piece of paper with the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 scribbled on it. In fact, those are the same numbers on the lottery ticket. Needless to say, no one sleeps the rest of the night. End Night 1. Begin Day 2.

Perfect - from the clues it looks pretty certain that we lost a pair of named survivors.
I suppose it is possible that we are all tied to survivors on the show, but don't know which character we are associated with - for example, Gram could have believed he was an ordinary survivor and played someone with no special role but was "Hurley" - think I'm remembering the guy who won the lottery, right? Next question - why Grammaticus? Time to review his posts to see if he may have somehow tipped his hand or if it was just luck hitting someone who right now appears to have likely been a special role. Multiple kills in one night - survivor assassin role? |

Grammaticus voted for Desmond fairly early (168) and never moved off of him.

Well, by this night action I guess I am to assume Mr. W was a good guy? A question for those more familiar, does the DS on the ring, and the heroin coeincide with the guy people mentioned Mr. W might be from the show? The one who wrote weird songs and was a druggy?
Also I remember people saying something about a guy who felt those numbers that Gramm had were very important , would that make Gramm that person? I guess what I am leading to, what "roles" if any do you all guess Mr. W and Gramm might have had? Without knowing those characters, I have a hard time guessing if we might have lost a bodyguard/witness/seer/duke/etc. |

Looks like you and Celeval answered my questions partially while I was typing out my questions. I still wonder what "roles" these two might have had if any. Looking at the very front of the thread, Mr. W is now listed dead via Lynch... So I don't think he was assassinated. it looks like we lynched him, it was just a "delayed lynch"? So It seems to me 1 lynch, and 1 night kill by the wolves. Now why Grammaticus, I looked at a few things, but didnt see much to go on. He did not seem too involved with the events from yesterday. he did not have a bolded name (so if he does have a special role, the bolded names do not indicate that at all). He had one vote for him all day from Sndvls who never left it, and he had a vote like hoops said on Desmond all day. My hunch is that both might be wild goose chases, maybe maybe not. I wonder though why they would not have gone after someone like Blade or hoops. Hoops might have answered that earlier by thinking he had caused a little controversy with his "mistake". I personally do not think too much of that though. I guess this at least gives us something to try to figure out. That and any thoughts on roles might be a good place to start. |

I see three different possibilities: 1. The person (Wednesday) who is selected for the lynch gets killed during the night phase and the wolves killed one (Grammaticus). 2. You're right, and the assassin and wolves killed one each. 3. Wednesday had Charlie's role and was able to kill someone, so when he was selected for the lynch, he got killed and he took out Grammaticus. The wolves could've converted a cursed. |

In regards to not taking down me or Blade, I expect that both of us will become increasingly more suspicious of the other as days go by and we are both still in the game. Partly the way we are wired (both generally think the other is making moves they often are not), partly because if I was an "other" he is someone who would be on my short list to kill. Blade alluded to this in Post #179 and I more or less reciprocate that idea.
If Mr. W was Charlie - and the drugs coupled with the song lyric strongly suggest this - then what to the initials DS in the ring indicate? Grammaticus seemed to have good knowledge of the show (reply #167 is an example of this) but he is hardly the only one who fits that role. Perhaps he was killed for his references to watching both "Party of Five" and "Dancing with the Stars"? OK, time to think like a "wolf" - what do you do if you see an early bandwagon forming on a survivor? 1.) You are excited to be getting a free pass on Day 1. 2.) You make sure that the wolves spread out their votes - if possible, on completely different people but if it is a two-horse race then don't draw attention 3.) For those not voting for the lynchee, put something out there that can be re-read later as supporting his cause. Do these make sense? If so, there are a couple of people who inch up the "distrust" list ... still wading through the posts, but wondering if the people around this weekend agree with the premise(s) above. |

Ok, so completely guessing here, but the Charlie character maybe was the weak-willed convertible person? I have no idea how to translate the Hurley role. I was thinking possible seer, but that role might fall to the guy in the back story that told Claire to get on the plane. Neither would be the bodyguard or doctor. Maybe Hurley was the night wanderer who could view a kill?

i didnt see anything in gram's post that gave anything away as far as a role went, and i feel slightly disadvantaged knowing nothing about the show so i really cant even begin to speculate what kind of role either of those characters had.

I think the reason for going with Grammaticus is rather obvious, he was someone that could be killed and give us nothing to go on. He made an apparently random vote for Desmond, and Sndvls made an apparently random vote for him. I think we're no further along than we were on Day one, save for what seems to be the loss of two survivors. |

What are impressions on King at this point? If he was a survivor along with Mr. W then the others had the luxury of sitting back and enjoying the show on Friday. If not, then we should be paying a lot of attention to the voting patterns (including mine in that list).

Thats what I have been sitting here thinking about some today. I looked back at how exactly the run on king started, and then how the votes jumped around. It seems to me the run on king started based on Blade trying to watch for a "mistake" in someone's play as the only thing to go on for day 1. He made a similar type of claim against king as he did against you hoops. He felt he made a move that he should have known better not to. I think the day 1 votes other than a few assorted random votes were 2 groups of people latching onto a specific reason why to vote for someone. Mr. W's group of voters jumped on the lack of participation (last one to show up) and then later once he did show up did not want to move for various reasons (ie: Spleen's comment). King's group of voters jumped on the comment that Blade made regarding his move and why Blade felt it suspicious. I guess my feelings on king right now are the same as my feelings towards you (hoops).. Blade found something which he finds suspicious, which means something for us to possibly go for. However it could also just be a dead end too. It definitly was one of the avenues I was looking at. The main thing holding me back is I know blade likes to stir up stuff and see what sticks at times, so I don't want to just throw a vote on hoops or king without thinkingg it through a little bit. (if that makes sense. Am eating while I write this) |

I have about the same impression of King as I have of anyone else at this point. Maybe good, maybe bad. Based on probability, most likely good. It's a lot more likely that we lined up two villagers than a combo, as it is on most first days I think. |
